SOURCE: No Heat from Spa

Tcarrigan,

Heater contactors "buzzing": Do you mean normal buzzing or extra loud buzzing? Loud buzzing or chattering can be caused by low voltage to a contactor. If normal sounds, then probably the relays on the contactors is working, but the contacts may be stuck, or burned enough so as not to make contact. First, get a voltmeter and check for 240 volts AC at the heater contactor terminals. If the voltage is low, most likely you need to check the contactors further. Check for dirty contacts, clean if needed. If the contacts are not moving when energized, then you will probably need to replace one or both of the contactors.

SOURCE: layz spa pump

same problem I had so I seperated the globe by taking out the 5 screws around the middle then removed the nut from the hole the filter sits on its a strange fitting and must have a special key but I improvised by tapping it anticlockwise using a screwdriver and rubber mallet, once open identify the heater unit (it has a single wire going into it and is fastened to a length of metal pipe) and remove it by loosening the clamps at either side and pull the heater free, once free dismantle the plastic casing on the top of the heater inside you will see the live, neutral and earth wires, you can see the live (brown) wire goes to the water flow switch then the temp switch then the heater all I did was bypass the water flow switch by disconnecting the short wire from it going to the heat sensor and replacing it with the brown wire coming from the mains and it works fine now

SOURCE: our artic spa hot-tub is showing HL in the panel

HL is normally a "high limit" fault. If your filter is clean and you have sufficient flow, you may have a faulty high limit sensor. It should be mounted on the heater itself. The high limit sensor shuts the heater off if it senses excessively hot water. Check to see that you have sufficient flow, clean the filter, and make sure the filter pump is running. If everything else is running properly, you may have to replace the high limit sensor.

SOURCE: I get F2 and SL code on my SUV M7 balboa spa pack

Hi there, it took awhile. but I managed to find what each of those codes mean. I'll write them below and with any luck, i've helped you get you your answer :).

F2=Which Filtration Cycle it's set to: 2hours per 12 Hour Cycle.

SL=In Sleep Mode, the heating temperature should stay within 20 degree's Fahrenheit only during Filtration Cycles. If this is not the case, the temperature is fluctuating and not current. The display will then show a solid "SL" in the display.

For further information, you can look at this mini manual here:
http://www.spacare.com/productimages/pdfmanuals/Balboa/Duplex_and_MiniOval_Ref.Pdf

And I found out where you can contact the people who do specific handling s to this filtration system, and they are located here:

About your product with info, listed here:

Hope this helps!

It sounds like you may be in standard filtration mode and you may want to change that to economy mode and then set your filtration times.

Spa pressure switch

Jump it, (bypass it with other wire.) If the heat kicks on, the psi switch was bad.
In the event that works, replace the switch, do not leave it "jumped" or further damage will occur.

Flashing HH

HH is over heat.
If you have a manual Hi Limit Sensor try reset the sensor with the push button on the heater.
If you have an electric system unplug then reattach the hi limit sensor on the board.
If neither works it's likely the hi limit sensor has failed or another overheat event has damaged the spa.

Great lakes balboa 2000 le wont change out of econo mode so doesnt heat up

Are there any error codes?
Is the control panel locked?
If no check your Hi Limit sensor, it is a thermal protection/overheat sensor which is the spas safety device. If that sensor is bad the spa will not operate/heat at all.

Spa Heater problems- Balboa VS-501 controls #54356.

Use a high quality external temp probe and make sure the temp sensor in your system is correctly reading the water temp.
If the water is truly 110 then you may need to replace the board completely.

We have a Great Lakes spa with a Balboa control panel, manufactured in 1992. When you plug the spa in, it will shut down and read Sn on the topside control panel. We have replaced the high limit/temp...

Contact Balboa's Customer support department directly at 800-645-3201, follow the prompts to customer tech support (or press 0 and ask for customer support). You will need to be at the spa, control panel open and ready to read off the chip number, and you will need to be proficient with a test meter (AC voltage). The SN error is related to a bad sensor(s), but can also indicate a failed board. An incorrect sensor set will also create this problem, so confirm you used the exact or compatible replacement. If the SN code issue is no longer a problem, but the spa is still not heating, look and see if the heater led is on. If it is, you likely have some burned relays on the board, which can be replaced cheaper than replacing the board. If you need more help, email me at [email protected]
